a very common fear every salve of the time inhibited. By illustrating the tragic life of a young

Yusef Komunyakaa and Eavan Boland illustrate their personal experiences in order to emphasize how mistakes or tragic events will follow you for the rest of your life. The events that occur personally will haunt you every second of your life until you come to terms with them. The poems “Facing It” and “The Necessity of Irony” both reflect on past memories by using similar language and tone in order to realize what is truly important in life for a better future.

In the short story, the theme of fantasy versus reality plays a major role in the story, further proving its classification as psychological horror. Before the story

Nadine Gordimer expresses unity in her short story “Once upon a Time.” Although her theme is unity, it goes a bit farther than that: unity through similarity, in this case, fear. Both Nadine Gordimer and the family in her short story were afraid. As the author stated in the introduction of her story “Once Upon A Time”, “I lay quite still—a victim already—but the arrhythmia of my heart was fleeing, knocking this way and that against its body-cage.” She described the way how she would feel when she was scared. Similarly, the family in her short story also feared the same. As stated in her short story, “The man

Fear has the capability to could judgment and to make irrational decisions which allows authors to manipulate characters, plots, and identities. “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oats illustrates a self-absorbed teen that is overcoming by fear when confronted with Arnold Friend. “In a Grove” by Rynosuke Akutagawa documents a slain husband and the fearful truth that is exposed through witnesses’ statements. “A Little Respect” by Herbert Selby Jr. describes a father’s rising inner conflict about his disrespectful son and finally exploding by destroying a t.v. set much to the fear of his family. Lastly, “A Shattered Glass Goblin” by Harlon Ellison depicts a man bent on retrieving his finance only to meet his own

Pushing the Envelope in order to Dispel Prejudice There is a fine line between prejudice and satire. Sometimes satire goes too far, causing it to be misunderstood as prejudice. But sometimes it doesn’t go far enough, and people do not see the whole candid and honest truth of a matter. There will always be a risk that satire will perpetuate social ills, but do the benefits of dispelling prejudice thoughts outweigh the risks of enhancing it? Specific issues, such as race, gender, religion, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality will always be particularly touchy subjects, and the way that authors, comedians, and just humans in general go about addressing them must be handled with care and caution, because it is very easy to offend or create a misunderstanding.

For these reasons, the theme of the story is that sometimes fear of the unknown is worse than the fear itself. This was proven in my three examples, such as: when the narrator overcomes the fear of opening her eyes underwater, when she swims in the deep murky waters and

The use of satire and irony, much like doughnuts and bribery, tends to be a creative way of getting someone to see things from your viewpoint. Unfortunately, unlike doughnuts and bribery, satire and irony are often misinterpreted by the public in extraordinary ways. What was meant to be educational might

There are many different authors that use irony in their stories. There are various types of irony; situational (when the opposite of what is expected occurs), verbal (when a person says the opposite of what they really mean), and dramatic (when the readers know something the characters do not know).

Many stories can have similar plots, but also their authors can express the same fears throughout their works. In the stories “The Erl-King”, “Travis, B”, and “Hills Like White Elephants”, it is possible to see how characters’ biggest fears are to lost their love or also the ability to take

FEAR-a feeling of terror or alarm in dangerous situations. In this story, imagery and similes were used to give the story a more fearful mood. Initially, the author used imagery to create a descriptive story. For example, on page 21the storyline wrote, for his hair was a

Being fearful, it is a part of everyday life, but there is time when fear becomes overwhelming. A while ago, I attended a party. All the lights were dim, the location was obscure and there was a distinct aura I have never felt before; just then I then feel someone grasp onto my shoulders. At that moment internally I was panicking trying to figure out my options and what would occur next. I decided to keep calm and look up and that was when I realized it was my older sibling. My confusion at that moment caused me to think something harmful was going to come about to me when the irony was that my sibling was only trying to help me: get through the crowds of people on the dance floor. Similarly W.W. Jacobs uses irony produced by the main characters
